Is there a battery powered hand held mixer out there that can be used for donut mix?
We currently use a KitchenAid Electric Mixer with the flat beater. Is there a battery operated version of this? Any options as we are going to an event where electricity is not available.
Heck, _buy_ one of the small Honda generators (the EU series). It'll make enough power to run a Kitchenaid, and it's pretty quiet. A loaded KitchenAid will be louder.
Much easier than trying to find a bettery powered mixer with that kind of power.
A cordless 1/4" or 3/8" drill could likely be rigged up as an emergency beater. I would look at a paint stirring paddle in the local hardware store for the mixing end (it looks like a wire hook).
These drills are now available everywhere and are relatively inexpensive, compared to a KA.
Get one with a spare battery if you are going to make a lot of donuts.
I'm not sure what kind of doughnuts you are making. I would think that you could mix cake doughnuts by hand with just a wooden spoon. Perhaps you could make the dough for yeasted doughnuts at home and retard it in a cooler?
Well if you have your car there you could use in inverter (12v -> 120V). Don't know if you can get one from a rental store as it may not be worth buying one. My big Kitchen Aid is a 300 Watt, my 300 Watt inverter cost me about $100 from Radio Shack. It was gotten to run a computer in the car, not a mixer (!!!) so I cannot vouch that it will work but I do not know why not, but I am sure someone will correct me if I am giving you bad advise :-).

I work at an Auto Parts Store (CSK) and we sell an 800 watt inverter for $99. They run small refrigerators, tv/vcrs, and other items so I think it would be quite enough to run your KitchenAid. In fact, I sold one to a marching band director just two days ago to run their portable amps. I think this would be a much better application than a cordless drill. They can run out of steam pretty quick and you'd have nowhere to recharge. Even with a second battery, you could be in trouble if making many recipes.
